7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,f because I have found you righteousg in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of cleanh animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alivei throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rainj on the earthk for forty daysl and forty nights,m and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.n”
5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.o
6 Noah was six hundred years oldp when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the arkq to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and uncleanr animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.s 10 And after the seven dayst the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,u on the seventeenth day of the second monthv—on that day all the springs of the great deepw burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavensx were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.y
13 On that very day Noah and his sons,z Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.a 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind,b everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.c 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.d Then the Lord shut him in.
17 For forty dayse the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.f 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.a,b g 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.h 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of lifei in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth.j Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.k
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.l
8 But God rememberedm Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth,n and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavenso had been closed, and the rainp had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty daysq the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh monthr the ark came to rest on the mountainss of Ararat.t 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty daysu Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven,v and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.w 8 Then he sent out a dovex to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.y 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year,z the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second montha the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.b 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”c
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.d 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lorde and, taking some of all the clean animals and cleanf birds, he sacrificed burnt offeringsg on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aromah and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the groundi because of humans, even thougha every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.j And never again will I destroyk all living creatures,l as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,m
cold and heat,
summer and winter,n
day and night
will never cease.”o
9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.p 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.q 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.r Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.s
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.t 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.u I will demand an accounting from every animal.v And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.w
by humans shall their blood be shed;x
for in the image of Gody
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”z
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with youa and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenantb with you:c Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.d”
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenante I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:f 13 I have set my rainbowg in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbowh appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenanti between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.j 16 Whenever the rainbowk appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenantl between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenantm I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth.n (Ham was the father of Canaan.)o 19 These were the three sons of Noah,p and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.q
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceededa to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine,r he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father nakeds and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.v”
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!w
May Canaan be the slavex of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’sb territory;y
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,z
and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.a
